The latter consists only of two constant states, where one state lies on the lower and the other state on the upper half plane. The aim is to investigate if there exists a unique entropy solution or if the convex integration method produces infinitely many entropy solutions. For some initial states this question has been answered by E. Feireisl and O. Kreml, and also G.-Q. Chen and J. Chen, where there exists a unique entropy solution. For other initial states E. Chiodaroli, O. Kreml and C. De Lellis showed that there are infinitely many entropy solutions. For still other initial states the question on uniqueness remained open and this will be the content of this paper. Hence this paper can be seen as a completion of the aforementioned papers by showing that the solution is non-unique in all cases (except if the solution is smooth).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-03T09:10:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35L65", "35Q31", "76N15" ], "keywords": [ "multidimensional isentropic system", "riemann problem", "gas dynamics", "unique entropy solution", "initial states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
